Scores 8.0 to 8.9. A well-documented product that performs well across the categories we measure.
Scored from a complete published ingredient disclosure and directions.
Why It Scored 8.2
Our independent, evidence-based evaluation of this product across every Clean Wise exposure category, scored for how the product is actually used. Sponsorship is never an input. Cleaning performance is shown separately below and does not affect this score.
- Ingestion, skin sensitivity, developmental and licking-risk factors for puppies.
- Overall household exposure and ingestion factors for adult dogs.
- Floor-contact residue, irritation and drying-time considerations.
- Fragrance load, aerosols and airborne irritation.
- How exposure lands on toys, bowls, floors and surfaces dogs mouth on. Higher = lower risk.
- Biodegradability, aquatic considerations and packaging.
- Whether the manufacturer publishes the full ingredient list. Undisclosed formulas score 0 and receive a Red Paw Alert.
Cleaning strength cannot be measured reliably from an ingredient list, so it is kept as separate information and is excluded from the Clean Wise safety score.
Clean Wise Verdict
A strong performer across the Clean Wise exposure categories.

Why this score: ingredient transparency
Transparency is scored on its own, before anything else. It measures how much of this formula the maker actually publishes — not how good the formula is.
Full, first-hand disclosure. Every other Clean Wise rating for this product is built on the printed formula.
